Belated Post In Honor of Chocolates!

I came to find out that World Chocolate Day was being celebrated on September 4th through Radio One. And I immediately knew I had to do a post on it.

Unfortunately, it took me some time to decide what to write in honor of chocolate, only to find out that some of the best and brightest people in the world have already said it. So, here for your reading pleasure, is a collection of some amusing quotes about chocolate.

Enjoy 🙂

Random chocolate quotes taken from here:
